After listening to the answer between the two, a seemingly honest businessman interjected softly: "Alas, in the past few years, the official army has to deal with the Khitan dogs, and there is no time to exterminate the bandits, and the northwest region is now full of mountain bandits. Nowadays, the world is difficult, and it is impossible to do business in a little farther away. ”

At this time, a group of women and Hou Gongzi and others had finished eating and drinking, and after saying goodbye to Liu Fan, they left with the guards of the Tiance Army, and the full table was half empty at once, Liu Fan was idle to eat and drink, during which Ma Qiang added another jar of wine, and when the two jars of wine were drunk, the three of them were a little hot-headed, and Liu Fan saw that the horses were almost rested, so he crossed the horse and went to Liangzhou.

A group of three people came and went for eight days plus stayed in the village for three days, only eleven days, but how do you feel that this Liangzhou City has changed too much, just stand on the east gate of Liangzhou five or six zhang high color gate not to say, whether it is a high gate in the city, or a small people, every family is full of lights, every household pennant welcomes the door, a joy, the city celebrates.

When Liu Fan entered the gate, he casually chatted with the soldiers on duty at the gate of the government office and heard, "Since the beginning of October, the square in front of the government office has arranged performances organized by nearby prefectures and counties every morning and afternoon, and there are many kinds of singing and dancing.

The south of the city Confucius Temple has held two cultural meetings, the semi-finals of the flower list contest has ended, the eight girls who entered the finals will compete with the girls from Beijing and Luoyang, and finally selected the top three of this year's flower list competition, and the largest cultural meeting will also be held five days later, which will be held in conjunction with the flower list competition. ’

Because of the slow progress along the way, it was already twilight when Liu Fan and the three of them returned to the small courtyard of the government office where they were temporarily staying, no matter how noisy the streets in the city were, but there was silence in the palace where the camp stopped, only the monotonous footsteps of the patrol soldiers came every moment.

The three of them hurriedly ate dinner, immediately bathed and rested, due to the four consecutive days of long-distance travel, the body was already extremely tired, so the night slept very steadily, until the morning Ma Qiang knocked on the door hard, Liu Fan reluctantly got up from the bed.

Liu Fan told Xiaohai to go to Uncle Chen first, and said that he would meet at the big campus outside the city at the beginning of the afternoon, and let Ma Qiang take his waist card to the camp outside the city to transfer the Geng brigade to the big school field outside the city.

I also went to see Li Shouyi immediately, this period of time I was either injured or recuperated, and I haven't reported to the Shence Army until now, now the injury is healed, and the things at home have been settled, I went to the Shence Army to report first, it is estimated that there are still errands waiting for me, and it is impossible for Mr. Guo to let himself rush back on time without anything, and when he receives the errand, it is not too late to consider the training of the troops.

Sure enough, when the two of them came to the courtyard where the Shence Army usually worked in the mansion, Li Shouyi was already waiting for him.

As soon as he saw Liu Fan, Li Shouyi laughed and said: "If you don't come again, I'll go to your residence to urge you, come on, sit down and drink tea and soup to relieve your breath, and then we will go to see Manager Guo immediately." ”

After the two of them sat down, Li Shouyi said: "I know that you haven't stopped for a while recently, and these days are even more tiring from the journey for several days, so you should be allowed to rest for a day, but there is no way, the camp has been done one after another in the past two days, my father will go to Beijing to take office after the tenth day of Daqing, and General Manager Guo has mainly accompanied Master Pan and his party in the past two days, and Deputy Chief Qi still has some things to deal with in the Jincheng Army, it is estimated that he will not be able to get to Liangzhou until ten days later, and after Deputy Chief Qi arrives, his main energy is also in logistics, There are a lot of chores in the camp that need me to come forward, and I may not be able to take care of so many things in the future, so you will have to worry more about it in the future, and after meeting General Manager Guo for a while, we will rush back immediately, and I have arranged for the guards to go and order the brigade commanders and deputy commanders of each brigade to come over, and when you meet with them, it will be equivalent to officially taking office. ”

Liu Fan immediately stood up and saluted: "Everything is under the orders of the deputy chief!" ”

"Hey, sit down, sit down, don't come to these false tricks between the two of us when no one is there in the future, and in addition, don't want the deputy chief manager and deputy chief manager to be short, just call Shouyi big brother!"

Liu Fan waved his hand and said, "How can this work!" ”

Before Li Shouyi could answer, he only heard the report of the guards outside the door: "Deputy Chief, Chief Guo asked you and General Liu to come over." ”

Li Shouyi immediately said, "Look, the chief manager can't wait, let's hurry over!" ”

When the two of them came to the second hall of the mansion, they saw that the side hall was almost full of Wenchen military generals who wanted to meet General Guo, and as soon as they saw Li Shouyi and the two, several people immediately stood up and saluted: "Deputy Chief, the ...... of the post" Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Li Shouyi immediately replied: "Your Excellencies, you have to wait for a while, I have some important military affairs with General Liu at this time, and I will arrange to meet with you as soon as I am done." ”

As soon as I entered the second hall, I saw that in addition to the two guards on duty at the door, there were only Guo Huaide and the general named Shijun, Guo Huaide was dressed as a Confucian student, and he was holding a few pages of documents and reading them seriously.

After the two of them saluted, Guo Huaide put down the paperwork in his hand and said with a smile: "Is the matter at General Liu's house properly arranged?" ”

Liu Fan immediately bowed and said, "Chief Administrator, some small things have been dealt with." ”

"That's good, then your burden is very heavy, solve these worries, in order to spend all your thoughts on military affairs, there may be some things Shouyi has already told you, in the future, Shouyi should focus on the camp side, you have to worry more about the affairs of the Shence Army, there is no big problem in taking charge of this military affairs, right?"

"Please rest assured that the general manager and deputy general manager will do my best to do everything well, not to mention that there is also a deputy general manager in charge of the overall situation, once there is something you don't understand, you can ask the deputy general manager for instructions in time."

"Shouyi is also busy here, and you have to make your own ideas about some things, don't ask him to solve everything for you, not only is it not efficient, but it is not good for your growth."

"Follow the instructions of the Governor."

"In addition, Xingying has decided to set up a northwest bandit command headquarters, Shouyi is the commander-in-chief, I have discussed with Shouyi, the biggest bandit in the northwest region, Qiu Mazi, will be handed over to you, when to start, how many people and horses are needed and the specific plan are all up to you, I and Shouyi will not interfere, but before the end of the year, I must see Qiu Mazi's head, can you do this?"

Liu Fan thought for a moment, got up and said respectfully: "Obey the fishing orders of the chief manager and the deputy chief manager, and I will never live up to expectations." ”

"Okay, with your words, I can rest assured, although it seems that the northwest region is full of bandits, but as long as Qiu Mazi, the largest nest of bandits in the northwest region, is wiped out, the other small bandits will be solved, and the northwest region will be clean."

"So this matter is the top priority, other things such as military training, winemaking and the like have to give way to this matter, but you can't leave everything else behind, it depends on how you are at your mercy, to put it bluntly, there are a lot of things to learn, I hope you don't live up to the expectations of the camp and our old guys for you."

Seeing the ardent expectations in Guo Huaide's eyes, Liu Fan not only had a strong sense of gratitude in his heart, since he came to this world, not only Guo Huaide, Li Zongxiong, Li Shouyi, Qi Boyuan and others have supported him, but also his close relatives and friends have also taken care of him, and he has now developed a strong affection for this mysterious world that does not exist in the official history.

Back in the small courtyard of the Shence Army's office, the brigade commanders and deputy brigade commanders of the six brigades had all arrived, and before the brigade commanders and deputy brigade commanders could salute the two, Liu Fan had already seen General Ma Youlai standing in the crowd.

"Brother Ma, why are you here?" Liu Fan rushed to Ma Youlai's side in two steps, and suddenly grabbed Ma Youlai's hands tightly and asked.

Ma Youlai was also a little excited, his dark and thin face was blooming with purple brilliance, obviously a little unaccustomed to Liu Fan holding his hands tightly, but he didn't break away, and said with a smile: "What's the matter, if you can come to Liangzhou, I won't be allowed to come to Liangzhou?" ”

"Then I can, it's too late for me to be happy."

Next to him, Li Shouyi interjected: "General Liu, don't treat other deputy marshals as dried fish." ”

At this time, Liu Fan found that the eight or nine brigade commanders and deputy commanders saluted him uniformly, so he had to return the salute to everyone in embarrassment.
